Description

1. FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to formulations of one or more phospholipids and one or more non-ionic surfactants, being free of any non-lipid, non-surfactant pharmaceutically active agent, wherein such formulations have deformable properties and are also referred to as "deformasomes," and to the use of such formulations for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis, wherein the formulation is topically applied.
2. BACKGROUND
U.S. Patent No. 6,165,500 to Cevc describes a "preparation for the application of agents ... provided with membrane-like structures consisting of one or several layers of amphiphilic molecules, or an amphiphilic carrier substance, in particular for transporting the agent into and through natural barriers such as skin and similar materials." Abstract. These transfersomes "consist of one or several components[, m]ost commonly a mixture of basic substances, one or several edge-active substances, and agents []." Col. 5, lines 28-30. According to U.S. Patent No. 6,165,500 , "[l]ipids and other amphiphiles are best suited basic substances; surfactants or suitable solvents are the best choice from the point of view of edge-active substances[, and a]ll of these can be mixed with agents in certain proportions depending both on the choice of the starting substances and on their absolute concentration." Col. 5, lines 30-35.
U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2004/0071767 to Cevc et al. describes "formulations of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) based on complex aggregates with at least three amphiphatic components suspended in a ... pharmaceutically acceptable ... medium." Abstract. "One of these components is capable of forming stable, large bilayer membranes on its own. The other at least two amphiphatic components, including an NSAID, tend to destabilise such membranes." Paragraph [0002].
U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2004/0105881 to Cevc et al. describes extended surface aggregates, "suspendable in a suitable liquid medium and comprising at least three amphiphats (amphiphatic components) and being capable to improve the transport of actives through semi-permeable barriers, such as the skin, especially for the non-invasive drug application in vivo by means of barrier penetration by such aggregates." Paragraph [0002]. "The three amphiphats include at least one membrane forming compound (MFC), which can form the membrane of [the aggregates], and at least two membrane destabilising compounds (MDC1 and MDC2) differentiated by their capability of forming smaller aggregates (with no extended surfaces) by either themselves or else in combination with each other and/or characterized by their relatively high solubility in [the] suitable liquid medium. Paragraph [0002]. US 2004/0105881 specifically discloses that "incorporation of a surfactant into a bilayer membrane that is built from another less soluble amphiphat, such as a phospholipid, can increase the flexibility of the resulting complex membrane ... promot[ing] the capability of complex aggregates ... to cross pores in a semi-permeable membrane that otherwise would prevent comparably large aggregates from crossing." Paragraph [0015]. Barthel et al. : "Randomized controlled trial of disclofenac sodium gel in knee osteoarthritis", Seminars in Arthritis and Rheeumatism, vol. 39, no.3, 1 December 2009, p.203-212, discloses topical treatment of osteoarthritis using diclofenac gel.
3. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a vesicular formulation for use in the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis comprising one or more phospholipids and one or more non-ionic surfactants and being free of any non-lipid non-surfactant pharmaceutically active agent, wherein the formulation is topically applied.
The vesicular formulation may be for use in the treatment of pain, including deep tissue pain.
The formulation may contain 2.0-10.0% wt phospholipid.
The formulation may contain 0.2-5.0% wt surfactant.
The one or more surfactants may comprise polysorbate 80.
In a further aspect, the present invention provides a vesicular formulation for use in the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis which consists essentially of one or more phospholipids and one or more non-ionic surfactants in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the formulation is topically applied.
The molar ratio of phospholipid to surfactant maybe in the range of from about 1:3 to about 30:1, preferably about 1:1 to about 30:1, and more preferably about 2:1 to about 20:1.
The one or more phospholipids may include phosphatidylcholine.
The formulation may comprise one or more non-ionic surfactants selected from poloxyethylene sorbitans, polyhydroxyethylene stearates and polyhydroxyethylene laurylethers.
The formulation may further include one or more buffers, chelators, humectants, lubricants, antioxidants, preservatives, microbiocides, antimicrobials, emollients, co-solvents or thickeners.
Applicants have surprisingly found that vesicular formulations comprising one or more phospholipids and one or more nonionic surfactants are effective in the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis, more specifically in the treatment of deep tissue pain, for example osteoarthritis. These vesicular formulations are suitable for topical administration. In some embodiments, these formulations are designed such that the vesicles are able to penetrate deep tissue without diversion into the blood vessels. That is, the formulations are able to travel to the site of the pain in sufficient amount to alleviate that pain to some extent. In accordance with the invention, delivery to the deep tissue includes delivery of the formulation beneath the skin to the muscle tissue and to the joint itself, while limiting systemic delivery and exposure to the formulation.
The formulations of the invention are formulated in the absence of any pharmaceutically active agent, i.e., any non- lipid non-surfactant pharmaceutically active agent that has received regulatory approval for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis. The formulations of the invention do not comprise NSAIDs. The formulations of the invention do not comprise opioids. The formulations of the invention do not comprise COX-2 inhibitors. The formulations of the invention do not comprise any analgesic, for example they do not comprise chlorobutanol, ketamine, oxetacaine, propanidide and thiamylal, aminophenol-derivatives, aminophenazol-derivatives, antranilic acid- and arylpropione acid derivatives, azapropazone, bumadizone, chloroquin- and codeine-derivatives, diclophenac, fentanil, ibuprofen, indometacine, ketoprofen, methadone - substances, morazone, morphine and its derivatives, nifenazone, niflumin acid, pentazozine, pethidine, phenazopyridine, phenylbutazone-derivatives (such as 3,5 pyrazolidine dion), pherazone, piroxicam, propoxyphene, propyphenazon, pyrazol- and phenazone-derivatives (aminophenazone, metamizole, monophenylbutazone, oxyphenebutazone, phenylbutazone or phenazonesalyzilate), salicylic acid-derivatives, sulfasalazine, tilidine; acetylsalicylic acid, ethylmorphine, alclofenac, alphaprodine, aminophenazone, anileridine, azapropazone, benfotiamine, benorilate, benzydamine, cetobemidone, chlorophenesincarbamate, chlorothenoxazine, codeine, dextromoramide, dextro-propoxyphene, ethoheptazine, fentanyl, fenyramidol, fursultiamine, flupirtinmaleate, glafenine, hydromorphone, lactylphenetidine, levorphanol, mefenamic acid, meptazonol, methadone, mofebutazone, nalbufine, Na-salt of noramidopyrinium-methanesulfonate, nefopam, normethadone, oxycodone, paracetamol, pentazocine, pethidine, phenacetine, phenazocine, phenoperidine, pholcodine, piperylone, piritramide, procaine, propyphenazone, salicylamide, thebacone, tiemonium-odide, or tramadone.
As used herein, the term "formulation" is not meant to imply that the ingredients or components are in combination with a pharmaceutically active agent, i.e., any non-lipid non-surfactant active agent that has received regulatory approval for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis.
In one embodiment, the invention provides a vesicular formulation comprising one or more phospholipids and one or more nonionic surfactants and being free of any non-lipid, non-surfactant pharmacuetically active agent for use in the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis, more specifically in the treatment of osteoarthritis, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In one embodiment, the invention provides a vesicular formulation for use in treating pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee. In one embodiment, the invention provides a formulation that comprises a lysophospholipid, a second phospholipid, such as phosphatidylcholine, and a nonionic surfactant. In one embodiment, the formulation comprises a lysophospholipid in amount from about 4% to about 15% by weight of the total amount of lipid in the formulation. In one embodiment, the invention provides a formulation consisting of one or more phospholipids and one or more nonionic surfactants in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In one embodiment, the invention provides a formulation consisting essentially of one or more phospholipids and one or more nonionic surfactants in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the formulation is topically applied.
Despite the lack of a recognized active agent, the vesicles elicit a therapeutic effect, namely the alleviation or attenuation of pain, for example, on the local deep tissue area. Without being bound by any theory, Applicant believes that the vesicle components themselves are responsible for this affect.
In one embodiment, the invention provides a pharmaceutical package or kit comprising one or more containers filled with the formulation of the invention, and instructions for administration of the formulation to a patient or subject in need thereof for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis, such as deep tissue pain. In certain embodiments, the formulation comprises one or more phospholipids and one or more non-ionic surfactants. In certain embodiments, the formulation comprises a lysophospholipid. The formulation does not comprise a pharmaceutically active agent, i.e., any non-lipid, non-surfactant pharmaceutically active agent that has been approved for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis. In various embodiments, the container comprises a formulation formulated as a suspension, emulsion, gel, cream, lotion, spray, film forming solution or lacquer. The invention provides packages or kits that can be used in any of the above-described methods.
In one embodiment, the invention comprises a vesicular formulation as disclosed herein for use in treating pain assoicated with osteoarthritis, wherein the vesicular formulations of the invention are administered over a period of one or more weeks, for example for at least five weeks, six weeks, seven weeks, eight weeks, nine weeks, ten weeks, eleven weeks, or twelve weeks, sixteen weeks, twenty four weeks, four months, six months, eight months, ten months, one year, two or more years, or indefinitely.
In one embodiment, the formulations of the invention comprise one or more phospholipids, one or more nonionic surfactants, in the absence of any pharmaceutically active agent, i.e., any non-lipid non-surfactant pharmaceutically active agent that has received regulatory approval for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis.
In one embodiment, a 0.1 to 10 gram dose of the formulation of the invention is administered to the patient for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis; a 1 to 10 gram dose of the formulation is administered to the patient for the treatment of pain assoicated with osteoarthritis; a 1 to 5 gram dose of the formulation is administered to the patient for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis; or a 1 gram, 2 gram, 3 gram, 4 gram, 5 gram, 6 gram, 7 gram, 8 gram, 9 gram or 10 gram dose of the formulation is administered to the patient for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis. In some embodiments, the dose is measured as the total weight of the deformasome. In some embodiments, the dose is measured as the total weight of the lipid(s) and non-ionic surfactant(s) in the deformasome. The dose may be administered once or twice daily for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis. The dose may be administered once, twice, three, four, five, six, or seven times per week in accordance with the invention. The dose may be administered every day, every other day, or two to three times a week in accordance with the invention.
The lipid in the pharmaceutical composition is a phospholipid. In some embodiments, the second lipid is a lysophospholipid. The surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant.
In some embodiments, the compositions of the invention form vesicles or other extended surface aggregates (ESAs), wherein the vesicular preparations have improved permeation capability through the semi-permeable barriers, such as skin. The adapatability and deformability of the vesicles allow the vesicles to penetrate beneath the skin to the muscle and the joint itself, however, the size of the vesicle prevents penetration into the vasculature and as a result prevents systemic delivery. While not to be limited to any mechanism of action, the formulations of the invention are able to form vesicles characterized by their deformability and/or adaptability. The adaptability or deformability of the vesicles may be determined by the ability of the vesicles to penetrate a barrier with pores having an average pore diameter at least 50% smaller than the average vesicle diameter before the penetration.

4.1. LIPID
The lipid used in the formulation according to the present invention is a phospholipid.
In the sense of this disclosure, a "lipid" is any substance, which has properties like or similar to those of a fat. As a rule, it has an extended apolar group (the "chain", X) and generally also a water-soluble, polar hydrophilic part, the "head" group (Y) and has the basic Formula I:         X-Yn     (I) wherein n is equal to or larger than zero.
Lipids with n=0 are referred to as apolar lipids and lipids with n>1 are referred to as polar lipids. In this sense, all amphiphilic substances, including, but not limited to glycerides, glycerophospholipids, glycerophosphinolipids, glycerophosphonolipids, sulfolipids, sphingolipids, isoprenoid lipids, steroids or sterols and carbohydrate-containing lipids can generally be referred to as lipids. A list of relevant lipids and lipid related definitions is provided in EP 0 475 160 A1 (see, e.g. p. 4, 1. 8 to p. 6, 1. 3) and U.S. Patent No. 6,165,500 (see, e.g., col. 6, 1. 10 to col. 7, 1. 58).
A phospholipid is, for example, a compound of Formula II:         R1-CH2-CHR2-CR3H-O-PHO2-O-R4     (II) wherein R1 and R2 cannot both be hydrogen, OH or a C1-C3 alkyl group, and typically are independently, an aliphatic chain, most often derived from a fatty acid or a fatty alcohol; R3 generally is a hydrogen.
The OH-group of the phosphate is a hydroxyl radical or hydroxyl anion (i.e., hydroxide) form, dependent on degree of the group ionization. Furthermore, R4 may be a proton or a short-chain alkyl group, substituted by a tri-short-chain alkylammonium group, such as a trimethylammonium group, or an amino-substituted short-chain alkyl group, such as 2-trimethylammonium ethyl group (cholinyl) or 2-dimethylammonium short alkyl group.
A sphingophospholipid is, for example, a compound of Formula IIB:         R1-Sphingosine-O-PHO2-O-R4     (IIB) wherein R1 is a fatty-acid attached via an amide bond to the nitrogen of the sphingosine and R4 has the meanings given under Formula II.
A lipid preferably is a substance of formulaeII or IIB, wherein R1 and/or R2 are acyl or alkyl, n-hydroxyacyl or n-hydroxyalkyl, but may also be branched, with one or more methyl groups attached at almost any point of the chain; usually, the methyl group is near the end of the chain (iso or anteiso). The radicals R1 and R2 may moreover either be saturated or unsaturated (mono-, di- or poly-unsaturated). R3 is hydrogen and R4 is 2-trimethylammonium ethyl (the latter corresponds to the phosphatidyl choline head group), 2-dimethylammonium ethyl, 2-methylammonium ethyl or 2-aminoethyl (corresponding to the phosphatidyl ethanolamine head group). R4 may also be a proton (giving phosphatidic acid), a serine (giving phosphatidylserine), a glycerol (giving phosphatidylglycerol), an inositol (giving phosphatidylinositol), or an alkylamine group (giving phosphatidylethanolamine in case of an ethylamine), if one chooses to use a naturally occurring glycerophospholipid. Otherwise, any other sufficiently polar phosphate ester, such that will form a lipid bilayer, may be considered as well for making the formulations of the disclosure. Table 1 lists preferred phospholipids in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure.
The preferred lipids in the context of this disclosure are uncharged and form stable, well hydrated bilayers; phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamine, and sphingomyelins are the most prominent representatives of such lipids. Any of those can have chains as listed in the Table 1, the ones forming fluid phase bilayers, in which lipid chains are in disordered state, being preferred.
Different negatively charged, i.e., anionic, lipids can also be incorporated into vesicular lipid bilayers. Attractive examples of such charged lipids are phosphatidylglycerols, phosphatidylinositols and, somewhat less preferred, phosphatidic acid (and its alkyl ester) or phosphatidylserine. It will be realized by anyone skilled in the art that it is less commendable to make vesicles just from the charged lipids than to use them in a combination with electro- neutral bilayer component(s). In case of using charged lipids, buffer composition and/or pH care must selected so as to ensure the desired degree of lipid head-group ionization and/or the desired degree of electrostatic interaction between the, oppositely, charged drug and lipid molecules. Moreover, as with neutral lipids, the charged bilayer lipid components can in principle have any of the chains listed in the Table 1. The chains forming fluid phase lipid bilayers are clearly preferred, however, both due to vesicle adaptability increasing role of increasing fatty chain fluidity and due to better ability of lipids in fluid phase to mix with each other.

Other double bond combinations or positions are possible as well.
Suitable fatty residues can furthermore be branched, for example, can contain a methyl group in an iso or anteiso position of the fatty acid chain, or else closer to the chain middle, as in 10-R-methyloctadecanoic acid or tuberculostearic chain. Relatively important amongst branched fatty acids are also isoprenoids, many of which are derived from 3,7,1 1,15-tetramethylhexadec-trans-2-en-1-ol, the aliphatic alcohol moiety of chlorophyll. Examples include 5,9,13,17-tetramethyloctadecanoic acid and especially 3,7,11,15- tetramethylhexadecanoic (phytanic) and 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecanoic (pristanic) acids. A good source of 4,8,12-trimethyltridecanoic acid are marine organisms. Combination of double bonds and side chains on a fatty residue are also possible.
Alternatively, suitable fatty residues may carry one or a few oxy- or cyclic groups, especially in the middle or towards the end of a chain. The most prominent amongst the later, alicyclic fatty acids, are those comprising a cyclopropane (and sometimes cyclopropene) ring, but cyclohexyl and cycloheptyl rings can also be found and might be useful for purposes of this disclosure. 2-(D)-Hydroxy fatty acids are more ubiquitous than alicyclic fatty acids, and are also important constituents of sphingolipids. Also interesting are 15-hydroxyhexadecanoic and 17-hydroxy-octadecanoic acids, and maybe 9-hydroxy-octadeca-trans10,trans-12-dienoic (dimorphecolic) and 13-hydroxy-octadeca-cis-9,trans-11-dienoic (coriolic) acid. Arguably the most prominent hydroxyl-fatty acid in current pharmaceutical use is ricinoleic acid, (D-(-)12-hydroxy-octadec-cis-9-enoic acid, which comprises up to 90% of castor oil, which is also often used in hydrogenated form. Epoxy-, methoxy-, and furanoid-fatty acids are of only limited practical interest in the context of this disclosure.
Generally speaking, unsaturation, branching or any other kind of derivatization of a fatty acid is best compatible with the intention of present disclosure of the site of such modification is in the middle or terminal part of a fatty acid chain. The cis-unsaturated fatty acids are also more preferable than trans-unsaturated fatty acids and the fatty radicals with fewer double bonds are preferred over those with multiple double bonds, due to oxidation sensitivity of the latter. Moreover, symmetric chain lipids are generally better suited than asymmetric chain lipids.
A preferred lipid of the Formula II is, for example, a natural phosphatidylcholine, which used to be called lecithin. It can be obtained from egg (rich in palmitic, C16:0, and oleic, C18:1, but also comprising stearic,C18:0, palmitoleic, C16:1, linolenic, C18:2, and arachidonic, C20:4, radicals), soybean (rich in unsaturated C18 chains, but also containing some palmitic radical, amongst a few others), coconut (rich in saturated chains), olives (rich in monounsaturated chains), saffron (safflower) and sunflowers (rich in n-6 linoleic acid), linseed (rich in n-3 linolenic acid), from whale fat (rich in monounsaturated n-3 chains), from primrose or primula (rich in n-3 chains). Preferred, natural phosphatidyl ethanolamines (used to be called cephalins) frequently originate from egg or soybeans. Preferred sphingomyelins of biological origin are typically prepared from eggs or brain tissue. Preferred phosphatidylserines also typically originate from brain material whereas phosphatidylglycerol is preferentially extracted from bacteria, such as E. Coli, or else prepared by way of transphosphatidylation, using phospholipase D, starting with a natural phosphatidylcholine. The preferably used phosphatidylinositols are isolated from commercial soybean phospholipids or bovine liver extracts. The preferred phosphatidic acid is either extracted from any of the mentioned sources or prepared using phospholipase D from a suitable phosphatidylcholine.
Furthermore, synthetic phosphatidyl cholines (R4 in Formula II corresponds to 2-trimethylammonium ethyl), and R1 and R2 are aliphatic chains, as defined in the preceding paragraph with 12 to 30 carbon atoms, preferentially with 14 to 22 carbon atoms, and even more preferred with 16 to 20 carbon atoms, under the proviso that the chains must be chosen so as to ensure that the resulting ESAs comprise fluid lipid bilayers. This typically means use of relatively short saturated and of relatively longer unsaturated chains. Synthetic sphingomyelins (R4 in Formula IIB corresponds to 2-trimethylammonium ethyl), and R1 is an aliphatic chain, as defined in the preceding paragraph, with 10 to 20 carbon atoms, preferentially with 10 to 14 carbon atoms per fully saturated chain and with 16-20 carbon atoms per unsaturated chain.
Synthetic phosphatidyl ethanolamines (R4 is 2-aminoethyl), synthetic phosphatidicacids (R4 is a proton) or its ester (R4 corresponds, for example, to a short-chain alkyl, such as methyl or ethyl), synthetic phosphatidyl serines (R4 is L- or D-serine), or synthetic phosphatidyl (poly)alcohols, such as phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl glycerol (R4 is L- or D-glycerol) are preferred as lipids, wherein R1 and R2 are fatty residues of identical or moderately different type and length, especially such as given in the corresponding tables given before in the text. Moreover, R1 can represent alkenyl and R2 identical hydroxyalkyl groups, such as tetradecylhydroxy or hexadecylhydroxy, for example, in ditetradecyl or dihexadecylphosphatidyl choline or ethanolamine, R1 can represent alkenyl and R2 hydroxyacyl, such as a plasmalogen (R4 trimethylammonium ethyl), or R1 can be acyl, such as lauryl, myristoyl or palmitoyl and R2 can represent hydroxy as, for example, in natural or synthetic lysophosphatidyl cholines or lysophosphatidyl glycerols or lysophosphatidyl ethanolamines, such as 1-myristoyl or 1-palmitoyllysophosphatidyl choline or -phosphatidyl ethanolamine; frequently, R3 represents hydrogen.
A lipid of Formula IIB is also a suitable lipid within the sense of this disclosure. In Formula IIB, n=1, R1 is an alkenyl group, R2 is an acylamido group, R3 is hydrogen and R4 represents 2-trimethylammonium ethyl (choline group). Such a lipid is known under the name of sphingomyelin.
Suitable lipids furthermore are a lysophosphatidyl choline analog, such as 1-lauroyl-1,3-dihydroxypropane-3-phosphoryl choline, a monoglyceride, such as monoolein or monomyristin, a cerebroside, ceramide polyhexoside, sulfatide, sphingoplasmalogen, a ganglioside or a glyceride, which does not contain a free or esterified phosphoryl or phosphono or phosphino group in the 3 position. An example of such a glyceride is diacylglyceride or 1-alkenyl-1-hydroxy-2-acyl glyceride with any acyl or alkenyl groups, wherein the 3-hydroxy group is etherified by one of the carbohydrate groups named, for example, by a galactosyl group such as a monogalactosyl glycerin.
Lipids with desirable head or chain group properties can also be formed by biochemical means, for example, by means of phospho lipases (such as phospholilpase A1, A2, B, C and, in particular, D), desaturases, elongases, acyl transferases, etc., from natural or synthetic precursors.
Furthermore, a suitable lipid is any lipid, which is contained in biological membranes and can be extracted with the help of apolar organic solvents, such as chloroform. Aside from the lipids already mentioned, such lipids also include, for example, steroids, such as estradiol, or sterols, such as cholesterol, beta-sitosterol, desmosterol, 7-keto-cholesterol or beta-cholestanol, fat-soluble vitamins, such as retinoids, vitamins, such as vitamin A1 or A2, vitamin E, vitamin K, such as vitamin K1 or K2 or vitamin D1 or D3, etc.
The less soluble amphiphilic components comprise or preferably comprise a synthetic lipid, such as myristoleoyl, palmitoleoyl, petroselinyl, petroselaidyl, oleoyl, elaidyl, cis- or trans-vaccenoyl, linolyl, linolenyl, linolaidyl, octadecatetraenoyl, gondoyl, eicosaenoyl, eicosadienoyl, eicosatrienoyl, arachidoyl, cis- or trans-docosaenoyl, docosadienoyl, docosatrienoyl, docosatetraenoyl, lauroyl, tridecanoyl, myristoyl, pentadecanoyl, palmitoyl, heptadecanoyl, stearoyl or nonadecanoyl, glycerophospholipid or corresponding derivatives with branched chains or a corresponding dialkyl or sphingosin derivative, glycolipid or other diacyl or dialkyl lipid.
The more soluble amphiphilic components(s) is/are frequently derived from the less soluble components listed above and, to increase the solubility, substituted and/or complexed and/or associated with a butanoyl, pentanoyl, hexanoyl, heptanoyl, octanoyl, nonanoyl, decanoyl or undecanoyl substituent or several, mutually independent, selected substituents or with a different material for improving the solubility.
A further suitable lipid is a diacyl- or dialkyl-glycerophosphoetha- nolamine azo polyethoxylene derivative, a didecanoylphosphatidyl choline or a diacylphosphoolligomaltobionamide.
In certain embodiments, the amount of lipid in the formulation is from about 1% to about 12%, about 1% to about 10%, about 1% to about 4%, about 4% to about 7% or about 7% to about 10% by weight. The lipid is a phospholipid. In another specific embodiment, the phospholipid is a phosphatidylcholine.
In some embodiments, the lipid in the formulation does not comprise an alkyl-lysophospholipid. In some embodiments, the lipid in the formulation does not comprise a polyeneylphosphatidylcholine.

4.4. VESICULAR FORMULATIONS
While not to be limited to any mechanism of action or any theory, the formulations of the invention may form vesicles or ESAs characterized by their adaptability, deformability, or penetrability.
The term vesicle or aggregate "adaptability" which governs the "tolerable surface curvature" is defined as the ability of a given vesicle or aggregate to change easily its properties, such as shape, elongation ratio, and surface to volume ratio. The vesicles of this invention may be characterized by their ability to adjust the aggregates' shape and properties to the anisotropic stress caused by pore crossing. Sufficient adaptability implies that a vesicle or an aggregate can sustain different unidirectional forces or stress, such as one caused by pressure, without extensive fragmentation, which defines a "stable" aggregate. If an aggregate passes through a barrier fulfilling this condition the terms "adaptability" and (shape) "deformability" plus "permeability" are essentially equivalent. A "barrier" in the context of this invention is (as in, for example, EP 0 475 160 and WO 98/17255 ) a body with through-extending narrow pores, such narrow pores having a radius which is at least 25% smaller than the radius of the ESAs (considered as spherical) before said ESAs permeate through such pores.
The term "narrow" used in connection with a pore implies that the pore radius is significantly, typically at least 25%, smaller than the radius of the entity tested with regard to its ability to cross the pore. The necessary difference typically should be greater for the narrower pores. Using 25% limit is therefore quite suitable for > 150 nm diameter whereas >100% difference requirement is more appropriate for the smaller systems, e.g., with <50 nm diameter. For diameters around 20 nm, aggregate diameter difference of at least 200% is often required.
The term "semipermeable" used in connection with a barrier implies that a solution can cross transbarrier openings whereas a suspension of non-adaptable aggregates (large enough for the above definition of "narrow" pores to apply) cannot. Conventional lipid vesicles (liposomes) made from any common phosphatidylcholine in the gel lamellar phase or else from any biological phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol 1/1 mol/mol mixture or else comparably large oil droplets, all having the specified relative diameter, are three examples for such non-adaptable aggregates.
The term "stable" means that the tested aggregates do not change their diameter spontaneously or under the transport related mechanical stress (e.g. during passage through a semipermeable barrier) unacceptably, which most often means only to a pharmaceutically acceptable degree. A 20-40% change is normally considered acceptable; the halving or doubling of aggregate diameter is borderline and a greater change in diameter is typically unacceptable. Alternatively and very conveniently, the change in aggregate diameter resulting from pore crossing under pressure is used to assess system stability; the same criteria are then applied as for "narrow" pores, mutatis mutandis. To obtain the correct value for aggregate diameter change, a correction for flux/vortex effects may be necessary. These procedures are described in greater detail in the publications of the applicant in Cevc et. al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 2002; 1564:21-30.
Non-destructing passage of ultradeformable, mixed lipid aggregates through narrow pores in a semi-permeable barrier is thus diagnostic of high aggregate adaptability. If pore radius is two times smaller than the average aggregate radius the aggregate must change its shape and surface-to-volume ratio at least 100% to pass without fragmentation through the barrier. An easy and reversible change in aggregate shape inevitably implies high aggregate deformability and requires large surface-to-volume ratio adaptation. A change in surface-to-volume ratio per se implies: a) high volume compressibility, e.g. in the case of compact droplets containing material other than, and immiscible with, the suspending fluid; b) high aggregate membrane permeability, e.g. in the case of vesicles that are free to exchange fluid between inner and outer vesicle volume.
The vesicles or ESAs of the present invention have "adaptability" that can be assessed using the following method: 1) measure the flux (ja) of the aggregate or ESA suspension through a semi-permeable membrane (e.g., gravimetrically) for different transport-driving trans barrier pressures (Δp); 2) calculate the pressure dependence of barrier penetratability P for the suspension by dividing each measured flux value by the corresponding pressure value: P(Δp) = ja(Δp)/ Δp; 3) monitor the ratio of final and starting vesicle diameter 2 rves(Δp)/2 rves,0 (e.g. by dynamic light scattering), wherein 2 rves(Δp) is the vesicle diameter after semi-permeable barrier passage driven by Δp and 2 rves,0 is the starting vesicle diameter, and if necessary make corrections for the flow-effects; and 4) aligh both data sets P(Δp) vs. rves(Δp)/rves,0 to determine the co-existence range for high aggregate adaptability and stability.
It is also useful, but not essential, to parameterize experimental penetratability data within the framework of Maxwell-approximation in terms of the necessary pressure value p* and in terms of maximum penetratability value Pmax. It is plausible to sum-up all the contributions to a moving aggregate energy (deformation energy/ies, thermal energy, the shearing work, etc.) into a single, total energy. The equilibrium population density of aggregate's energetic levels then may be taken to correspond to Maxwell's distribution. All aggregates with a total energy greater than the activation energy, E f EA, are finally concluded to penetrate the barrier. The pore-crossing probability for such aggregates is then given by the following formula, where e is dimensionless aggregate energy units of the activation energy EA:
It is therefore plausible to represent barrier penetratibility of a given suspension as a function of transport driving pressure by the following formula, where Pmax is the maximum possible penetratability of a given barrier (for the aggregates with zero transport resistance this penetrability is identical to the penetrability of the suspending medium flux), and p* is an adjustable parameter that describes the pressure sensitivity, and thus the transport resistance, of the tested system (for barriers with a fixed pore radius this sensitivity is a function of aggregate properties solely; for non-interacting particles the sensitivity is dominated by aggregate adaptability, allowing to make the assumption: aa proportional to 1/p*
Other methods of testing deformability and adaptability which may be used to characterize the compsitions of the invention are set forth, for example, in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2004/0071767 and 2004/0105881 .

5. EXAMPLES 5.1 Example 1: Example Formulations
The following exemplary formulations for topical application may be prepared by the following procedure:
1. Organic phase production, which contains all lipophilic excipients
The organic phase is produced by weighing the phospholipid, the non-ionic surfactant, any additional lipophilic excipients into suitable containers followed by mixing these components into anoptically isotropic phase which appears as a clear solution. During mixing, the organic phase will be heated up, but temperature must not rise above 45°C.
2. Aqueous phase production
The aqueous phase is prepared by weighing the non-lipophilic components and water, which serves as solvent, into suitable containers and then mixing these components into a clear solution. During mixing, the temperature will be elevated to 40°C.
3. Production of a concentrated intermediate by combination of both phases
The isotropic organic phase and the clear aqueous phase are combined under stirring in a suitable vessel. Before and during the combination the temperature of both phases must be kept between 35°C and 45°C. The resulting intermediate is homogenised mechanically at 40°C. Before starting homogenisation, the pressure in the production vessel is lowered to - 0.08 MPa. The desired average carrier size is typically reached after 10 minutes of homogenisation.
Three process parameters must be controlled carefully during the production of the concentrated intermediate: temperature, homogeniser circulation velocity, and overall processing time.
4. Production of the final bulk product by mixing the concentrated intermediate with dilution buffer.
The concentrated intermediate is diluted with the dilution buffer to the intended final concentration. The mixture is carefully stirred in the mixing vessel at 20°C to homogeneity.
